Never tried to wire one in but does a Trackball just have the 4 wires which would be Up, Down, Left and Right?
Or I am missing something?

Are we having a funny today or do you really not know? A trackball has 6 wires X1 x2 y1 y2 ground and 5V. See Ultimarc link.

I thought for sure that in all your great cabs you had wired one up.

No they do not translate that way. They are actually phase related signals that indicate which way the trackball is spinning on the axis.
